Update: Entropy Software™ 3.8
11 Sep 2009
Topics: Entropy Software, Risk management
BSI has updated and improved its Entropy Software™ by releasing a new version, the38th iteration since its first release more than ten years ago. Continuous functional improvements, product robustness and stability enable organizations to mitigate risk, thereby protecting their brand and reputation for good governance. Many of the biggest and best companies in the world have successfully implemented various Entropy EHSQ and supply chain management projects for several years, justified by a proven business case each year.
Entropy Software™ provides a single platform for an integrated risk and compliance management solution to eliminate overlaps and address gaps across a business. The Entropy solution streamlines EHSQ data collection across organizational units to ensure that holistic and relevant compliance views are realized, to enable better and faster management decisions.
Entropy Software™ 3.8 brings processes, information technology and existing teams together to improve efficiency, analysis, compliance, knowledge management and internal control.
"Very few companies have the ability to join up their management system information and make it accessible on demand... when you do this, the efficiency gains are significant and deliver a genuine ROI," says Gary Robinson, vice-president of product management for BSI Americas.
